It was a rough night for residents - and the township's leadership - as Mayor Jim Rilee read a statement at a special council meeting on Tuesday announcing the administration's decision to accept the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's plan to cap Fenimore Landfill.

Following a PowerPoint presentation about the township's recent independent analysis of Fenimore, which produced limited recommendations due to lack of information including the denial of well-bore soil samples by DEP, Rilee read the conclusion he and the council agreed on.
